Unilever is feeling the wrath of the tea-tippling, Marmite-munching British public today following a pricing dispute with retailer Tesco. Unilever brands — including the polarizing yeast extract that is Marmite and tea brand PG Tips — are not being restocked at the supermarket because Tesco reportedly refused a 10 percent price hike which would offset the pound’s poor performance since the Brexit vote.

After the news broke, Twitter wenttotown with Marmite-related memes, with the brand racking up over 52,000 mentions according to data from Amobee Brand Intelligence.

But beyond the cry-laugh emojis, the platform saw a backlash against the multinational company. Of its 12,496 total global interactions, 25 percent were negative, compared to 13 percent positive. The hashtag #MarmiteGate has had 3,000 mentions over the last three days.

But while some users tweeted support for Tesco for “standing up” against Unilever, the retailer received a similar amount of negativity. In fact, both Marmite and Tesco have had around 30 percent negative mentions.

Matt Lee, co-founder of shopper media agency Capture, said the move by Tesco was a “high risk gamble” as shoppers will have little tolerance for not being able to purchase their favorite brands at Tesco. The brands are still available at other supermarket chains like Sainsbury’s and Morrisons.

“Tesco will feel that pressure day by day, every week and risk losing the entire shopping trip,” he added.

Unilever CFO Graeme Pitkethly told analysts the dispute is likely to be “resolved pretty quickly.” However — backlash aside — Lee also thinks it could work out well for Unilever in the short run.

“It’s possible that anxious shoppers may be concerned that the price is about to shoot up or that they’ll no longer be able to find Marmite in the stores, resulting in panic-buying and a short-term spike in sales,” he said.

Besides its 52,000 mentions and 422 percent spike in web engagement, Marmite is also now sold out on the Tesco website.
